Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Toll Increases and Ongoing Projects: Discussion with Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Peter Walsh:

Not by us. I saw decisions by An Bord Pleanála where a particular project was assessed and, even though it had a net carbon requirement, it was still regarded as acceptable and proper planning and sustainable development by An Bord Pleanála in the context of the overall transportation strategy at the time for Galway city. As I recall, that was the view taken, but we would not be relying on a view beyond the project. We believe that each project is going to require all of those assessments to be done and brought through the planning process.
